Lake Jovita Golf & Country Club offers two championship courses, the North and the South. Both courses sprawl across a verdant landscape covered with mature oaks, lakes, and ponds. The terrain is unusually hilly for Florida. Like the South Course, the North Course is undulating with a lot of movement but it has even greater elevation changes than the South, which provides scenic views of the surrounding community. On a clear day, golfers can see at least five miles to the northeast from the second tee. The North has a more modern layout that plays a little bit longer. Although the golf courses are nestled amongst rolling hills, Lake Jovita is situated just 30 minutes north of Tampa. The unique hilliness of the courses and their convenient location have made them some of Florida's must-play courses.

Near Perfect Condotions.

Our first trip around the north course. Condition was near perfect. Greens recently punched but they were still fast and true. Some very challenging reads. We will be back!

Nice layout, needs some love

Love the layout …. But …. The bunkers were a mess. A few holes they were well beyond just being washed out; they had weeds in them. The greens were B+ — some damage from sand hill cranes. Some bare spots in the fairways B- . Tees were more bare spots yet (C+).

Great to play, even in the heat

Great course, challenging. Generous open fairways. Watch out for large bunkers. Greens were fast and a bit tricky to read. We'd play again, soon.

Nice Course, not worth the rate

This was my first time playing at Lake Jovita and may be my last. I love the course layout. Everything is right in front of you and the gps in the carts is spot on. The tees were OK and the greens ran true even though they are 4-7 days from fully recovering from aeration.

However, the fairways were spotty. Compared to other courses that I have played recently in the same area, the conditions at Lake Jovita was sub standard. In addition the other course were about $30 less expensive to play at this time of year. I did not find the course worth the green fees.

On a side note, My playing partner and I arrived at different times and payed separately. I arrived first and was charged full rate. My partner arrived later and was issued a credit of $20 for future play due to aeration recovery. I found the lack of consistency unusual.

Disappointed

I was expecting a lot more for $65 on a weekday at 11 am. There were several dead patches on the fairways- nothing worse than getting penalized for a beautiful drive down middle of the fairway. Then, the greens were not rolling well at all. They were aerified a couple weeks ago and pro shop said they were fine, but I’ve played better greens that were aerified day before. Only saving grace was that we were only ones on the course and pace was great. But, I played a course with better conditions for half the price day before. Staff not that friendly either. Will not return or recommend.

Awesome Golf Club

The North course was in spectacular condition! Greens were running 10 to 11. Fairways and tee boxes we’ll manicured. Play was a little slower than usual because the South Course was closed due to aerification. I would recommend the courses at Lake Jovita to everyone! You won’t be disappointed
